[QUOTE="Pincera, post: 1165416, member: 421154"] After 25 + years I have decided to move away from Sky an have purchase a Freesat recordable box and it works fine. I noticed on my TCL tv that it had a "F" button on it and above it are the words Freesat Play, which I understand is an on demand service ! The TV also has an F type connector and has a satellite symbol above it, this confused me so I contacted the manufacturer to clarify the type of tuner within the TV.
